Sort of.  I use @ext() mostly along with an update script that sends
"@" to the window. 

Example:

In main.sc, you might have

let F9 = @ston(@ext("sc -Wb16:b16 /home/anon/code/sc/otherin3.sc 2>/dev/null",0)) 

Then in the update script, there would be: 

xdotool type --window <windowid> "@"

where <windowid> is the window id of the xterm running the main.sc

You can get the window id like this (the sleep is usually necessary,
and varies with load time for whatever app):

anon@lowtide:~/code/sc$ cat testy
#!/bin/bash
xterm -title boo &
sleep .25 
windowid=$(xwininfo -tree -root |grep boo |awk '{print $1}')
echo ${windowid}
anon@lowtide:~/code/sc$

I tried out one fork of sc (not sure if that was it) and it
turned out to be really buggy.  I do like the idea that people
are adding features to this great program.
